Excerpts:"My heart, Eduard! It probably won't be possible for me to come to you before Tuesday. Believe me, it's the most unpleasant thing for me. Where can I be in love than with my children? [...] The main reason is that your brother will probably come in the days when I'll be in Grimma later, and in that case I'll have to get his room ready here first. The craftsmen are keeping me in Allen longer than I thought. If you ever get diarrhea, go to bed immediately and drink lilac tea to sweat, but you have to wait it out properly. [...] Be careful about eating fruit. Everything is fine here, and the city also enjoys excellent health. [...] Just make the Greek Grammtick your daily friend. Your loving mother. Here follows Theodor's last letter."
